Chapter 226: Rumors Fly
Early in the morning, the airtight carriage quietly drove away from King's Landing with Margaery Tyrell, a little rose.
Lynn came to the golden pig who had been in the yard for the past two days, and brushed his fur with clean water.
Looking at Lynn in the center of the courtyard who poured water on the lion body of the golden pig with a wooden spoon, shaved the lion's hair on his back with a horse brush, and patted the sharp golden hook beak of the golden pig affectionately from time to time, Milan bowed down and waited quietly.
After the fleet in front of them recovered the remains of Stannis Baratheon, Lynn successfully completed another main mission.
[Main Quest: Defeat the remnants of Stannis and annihilate the last army of House Baratheon]
Successfully won the main quest reward, the title of Air Knight.
With the title of Dragon, Lynn doesn't have to worry about accidentally falling and dying while riding a flying Warcraft.
Lynn grabbed the lion's fur and asked Milan without looking back, "Did the wind that was scheduled to be released yesterday make any waves in King's Landing?"
"That's why I'm here, my lord," Milan replied hurriedly, "you ordered your subordinates to spread the news that the demon queen Cersei and the two Imperial Ministers had colluded to kidnap the High Court Rose, and it was unexpectedly fermented in King's Landing, and it seems that other forces besides the people we sent out were deliberately contributing to the spread of this news. The matter of Baratheon's widow has all been revealed, and now the Golden Robe Guards are hunting for rumors, and our people have withdrawn, but the matter is getting worse and worse, and there are even malicious obstructions to the law enforcement of the Golden Robe Guards in several slums. ”
"Oh, such a thing?" Lynn's eyes lit up.
Milan nodded, her bright eyes looking at Lynn's back in disbelief, "My lord, why is this thing fermenting so violently? I sent someone to investigate, it seems that it is all a spontaneous rumor spread by the residents of King's Landing, and I don't see any traces of instructions in the back." ”
Lynn chuckled.
Pick up a dry cloth. Give the golden pig a final touch of enjoyment.
"It's impossible without someone to instruct, these ordinary people won't risk being caught and killed by the golden-robed guards to do these meaningless things, and no matter how gossipy the residents, they usually only dare to talk about these in private, but since someone wants to provoke the emotions of the people and take over for us, then let's just watch quietly, if you want to make a profit, you must incite the people's minds, and when the people's emotions reach the peak of the dragon, it will be time for the matter to come to light." ”
"That's right, I'm just worried that this matter will make too much trouble and hinder your follow-up plans. ”
Lynn paused when she heard this, patted the fat head brain of the Eagle Lion Beast Golden Pig, and sneered, "This is part of the plan. ”
Milan was very surprised, "My lord, you..."
"This matter is not led by me, it is just a matter of following the trend, you are my important subordinate, I will not hide from you to make other arrangements in King's Landing, if you are really interested in the follow-up discovery of this matter, you should be able to find out about the archbishop of the church that the demon queen Cersei once secretly ordered Sir Osney to kill. I have heard that the post of archbishop of the Church of the Seven has been vacant for a long time, but recently a new bishop has been ushered in. “
"I have heard of this, I have heard that this bishop of the Church once recruited believers among the people, gathered his strength, and started as a missionary, and in just a few years, he became the archbishop. After taking office, he also sold all the luxurious things in the church to help the poor people, and even took the lead in wearing coarse linen clothes, which was very considerate of the people's suffering. “
Lynn hooked the corners of her mouth and said disdainfully: "Be considerate of the people's suffering? Milan, as an intelligence traveler, there are many things that cannot be seen only on the surface. ”
Milan pondered Lynn's words, and finally bowed down and said in a deep voice: "I will find out the details of this person." ”
In the middle of the Red Fort, Megg Tower. A square fortress.
On the twelve-foot-wide rampart of Maegor Tower, Cersei met her cousin, Lancel Lannister, who had slept with him, dressed in a different kind of glamorous aristocratic attire, uncharacteristically dressed in a coarse gray and white robe, and shaved his beautiful and handsome hair into a short flat head.
As soon as they met, Lancel took the initiative to ask for forgiveness for the affair between the two of them.
"Sparrow has seen the Queen Mother, I'm sorry Cersei, I led you into the darkness, and I repent of the sinful past we had. Also, as an attendant to King Robert Baratheon, I am directly responsible for the death of the former king. While hunting in the royal forest, I obeyed the orders of your queen and prepared a large amount of liquor for the king. This allowed King Robert to track down a giant boar while drunk, and was stabbed to death by the boar. ”
Cersei kept a meaningful smile as her Imperial Guard was standing guard a dozen paces away, disguising herself as a graceful Empress Dowager, and scolding her mother in her heart.
Cersei interrupted Lancel to continue, "I have no idea what you're talking about, if you want someone to talk to like a child, you should go to your father, Sir Kevon. ”
Hearing this, Lansel smiled slightly, clasping his hands in front of him, "I have found peace and found my true self under the light of the seven gods, and I believe you can too." ”
Cersei looked at her serious-looking cousin Lancel and laughed out loud, "You came to me just to tell me this useless joke?"
After saying that, she walked away happily.
On the other side of the city wall at the other end of the Megar Tower, Littlefinger, the Chief of Intelligence, and Littleskin, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, waited for Cersei to come over after talking about things.
"Queen Mother, someone is trying to frame us, and there are already rumors flying outside the Red Castle. As soon as Cersei approached, Littlefinger spoke eagerly.
Cersei looked at Littlefinger with an unhappy expression, and then at Rams Burton, who nodded to her slowly.
"Some untouchable discussions, can they hurt you half of your cold hair? I said, why don't you have this kid who can sit still, have you lost all your usual self-cultivation to grandma's house?"
Littlefinger looked up in surprise at Cersei, who had her hand in her sleeve, and then at Little Peel with a calm smile on her face.
"Now that the whole King's Landing is accusing us and orchestrating us, you don't seem to care?"
"I'd love to care, but I don't even know who to be angry with, and I'm in charge of the finances now, isn't it your responsibility to be in charge of intelligence?" said Peelrams Jr.
"The Octopus didn't leave me with a single usable person when it fled, and I'm blinded by the fact that all the rumor-mongers caught in King's Landing have been bitten to death without receiving any instructions!" Littlefinger said in a muffled voice.
He thought that since he got rid of the quagmire of King's Landing's tattered finances and became the chief intelligence officer, he could be regarded as ushering in a new peak in his career, but he never thought that although he had a set of intrigues, he was not the material for intelligence work at all, and this errand needed to sink his heart to the bottom to cultivate his henchmen, but Littlefinger's eyes were always only staring at these big people with power, and he didn't have the heart to do these drudgery at all.
Cersei's eyes rolled when she heard this, and she suddenly remembered that she had just met her cousin Lancel, who seemed to have just called himself a sparrow, what the hell is this name?
Cersei first comforted and encouraged Littlefinger for almost a sentence, and then said, "If you really can't find clues, you can try to investigate the intelligence agents at your disposal, an organization that calls itself Sparrow, and see if there is anything to be gained there." ”
